This is Brian Clewes Hovercraft on a frozen Boundary Park Lake in Cheshire UK.Our resident cob swan and his wife were sat on the ice probably hoping we had brought some feed. They don't bother us and we leave them alone. I should have filmed them taking off later, not an easy task on ice for one of our largest birds.The hovercraft has two brushless motors and uses a LiPo.

Hi EdIt's our resident Cob. Quite friendly really and is often around when we sail. There is a track alongside the lake and people walk dogs. The swans normally rest on the grass bank and get fed but don't like dogs so I suspect they felt safer on the ice. Thanks Donnieboy, I will let Brian know,

This truly stunning piece was created by Barry Sharman of Southampton International Plastic Modellers’ Society (IPMS UK). A replica of the HMCS Agassiz with a mind boggling level of detail not only on the outside but also on the inside visible through cut out sections of the hull. Barry invited me to see the other side of the model and was amazed to see several crew members restoring that side. Spectacular and no wonder it was protected by a glass case that Barry kindly removed so I could film it without chance of picking up any reflections.

Absolutely, Modelling par excellence👍Just think of the planning that must have gone into this! Building such detail deck for deck from the keel up 😲 Never mind the superb weathering, just back from several N Atlantic crossings!?And where the heck did he get all the interior detail from ?????Fabulous, just great shame that she'll never float 🤔
